Generation and precise control of dynamic biochemical gradients for cellular assays

15/03/2017

Spatial gradients of diffusible signalling molecules play crucial roles in controlling diverse cellular behaviour such as cell differentiation, tissue patterning and chemotaxis. In this paper,

Thermal properties measurements of a silica/pyrocarbon composite at the microscale

28/12/2016

Laminar pyrocarbons are used as interphases or matrices of carbon/carbon and ceramic-matrix composites in several high-temperature aerospace applications. Depending on their organization at the microscale,

19/12/2016

Operation of Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) [1] in liquid environment probing thermal phenomena with nanoscale resolution could open unique opportunities for studies of biological materials,

Nano-Localized Thermal Analysis and Mapping of Surface and Sub-Surface Thermal Properties Using Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM)

16/12/2016

Determining and acting on thermo-physical properties at the nanoscale is essential for understanding/managing heat distribution in micro/nanostructured materials and miniaturized devices. Adequate thermal nano-characterization techniques

QUANTIHEAT project: Main progresses

21/11/2016

The development of increasingly complex and nanostructured materials and devices, for example thermoelectric materials, nanocomposite polymers or micro- and nanosystems (microelectronics systems, MEMS/NEMS), requires in

InGaN/GaN Distributed Feedback Laser Diodes With Deeply Etched Sidewall Gratings

02/11/2016

We report on the design, fabrication, and characterization of InGaN/GaN distributed feedback laser diodes emitting at a single wavelength around 430 nm. Third-order sidewall-etched gratings
